A farmer has told how his family have received threats after a row broke out over the “horrible” smell in Flintshire .

Residents in Deeside say they feel physically sick due to the stink, which they have likened to “rotting meat” and “dead bodies”.

But, the farmer who has spread the manure on his fields which stretch from Deeside to Blacon in Chester to improve the soil, has told how he has seen social media comments that his home should be burned down.

The married father of three said the remarks include a photo of a house on fire and threats to destroy his fields and crops.
